Great news today! Last night I filed alittle off the hammer and went to the range today and it worked flawlessly. I punched out the #10 with a clip. The springs were fine, one of the first things I checked. So my assumption is the hammer was out of tolerance, not by much, and needed a few strokes with a file and polished. I am very pleased with the operation of the Saiga along with the accuracey. Thank you for your comments.

Thanks for the reply...I have been out of the net. I did add the disconnector spring and did not modify the trigger. Everything is clean, I am retired Army so cleaning is at the top off the list. I heard about filing down the hammer??? I shoot a round and the next one does "load", the trigger just won't reset so I have to help it by pushing the trigger forward to fire the next. The wierd thing is the firing pin does hit the primer on the follow up round puts a dent in it...just doesn't hit hard enough.

Hello all...I converted my 7.62x39 and dropped a Tapco G2 trigger in it. The question I have is that when I shoot a round the next one will not fire. The firing pin does hit the primer but obviosly does not hit it hard enough. I have heard some G2 trigger systems have these problems...just wondering if anyone had the same issue. I thought I would start the troubleshooting here. Thanks....

it is a 7.62x39

Sorry it took so long to reply...I moved and now I am ready to bring the toys out! I tried the cycling like you wrote and I guess it is Short Cycling. I don't understand... that is the same as a Functions Test on a M-16/M4. If it the check passes the rifle will fire, different on the Ak I am assuming? Do you know what the cause is and how to fix?

If it is "short cycling" what is the cure?????

Believe it or not i still only have the origanal mag. I will try the hammer cycle though...thanks

I did not do a bullet guide, still using the 10 round Saiga

OK....I did my conversion a couple of months ago, shot it and everything was great. I took it out a couple of weeks ago and it would fire one round and misfire on the next. I had to pull back and eject that round and it would fire the next. So to actually send a round down range I had to pull back and eject the next round, every other round!!!! The unfired rounds had a firepin mark on it. I am thinking it might be the extracter or is it in the FCG or maybe the bolt system...firing pin? I am calling all Saiga gods out there that can shed some light on this. You know frustrating this is..

After taking it apart again it seems like the firing pin is ok.....my conclusion is that when it cycles through the next round is not sitting right. There is too much distance for the pin to hit the primer hard enough. there is a firing pin mark on the rounds.

I am upset....I just went out and bought 700 rnds of century (hot shot) 7.62x39. I converted my Saiga two months ago and shot maybe 100 rnds through the pipe w/ out any problems. I went out yesterday w/ a buddy bragging about how AWSOME this AK is and when we lined up a total of 11 rifles I pulled my baby from the gun rack and loaded her up. We shot 40 rounds and all the sudden she would only fire every other round. The firing pin was not hitting the primer hard enough. This went on after I laid her down for 20 minutes. I took her apart and looked at the bolt which seemed fine..... the firin

That is what I thought, I appreciate it guy's! I just got my boys a H&R combo w/ the 223/410 action. My oldest fell in love w/ the 410 his first shotgun shooting. I fell in love w/ how accurate both barrels were. I am already looking into getting one in a 308 and then adding barrels to it. I wish I could add barrels to the ultra slug but I read from the H&R website you can not add to the shotgun recievers/stocks but you can add shotguns to rifle stocks. That sucks now since I have the 980. At least it was free and it sounds like I ripped my brother off by accepting it for free. I lov

Stupid question here....my brother gave me a 3" H&R ultra slugger and I have a boatload of 2 3/4" slugs and want to make sure it is ok to shoot them. The slugger is marked 3" so just checking!

GO FOR IT! I have a Benelli Nova and it is an awsome shotgun. Mine is a 26" smoothbore and I can slug out to 100 yards inches apart and it is smoooth! I know I could reach further out w/ optics and a longer range. It is unfortunate though cause I am looking for a 243,.410 combo for my son and my wife says my inventory is to big to buy so I need to trade or sell. I really do not have a good reason not to pick this first. So if you know someone in the market for an awsome shotgun and has a combo like a Rossi or NEF and would like to trade head them over my way. 200 bucks is a steal....I woul

Hey man that looks AWSOME! I have been thinking of getting rails like yours and I think you have made up my mind! What , if there is any, modifications to install the rails. How is the feel of a grip...thinking kind of rigid. Good job Bro.

I agree w/ ya Tacticool. It is an easy and simple process just about anyone w/ tools can do. I do not understand why someone wouldn't want to better their rifle and take the easy way out. It may be a lack of funds....lack of confidence.....who knows? Different strokes for different folks.

Does the serial number on the bolt carriage match the gun's number, I had a customer buy both a 223 and a x39, she showed up at the shop with a story of sadness, say her gun worked great the first time out but never again. then she describe the same thing as you experienced. it turned out she cleaned both guns at the same time and put the 223 bolt carriage in the x39. Good idea, Leo I don't have a .223, but it certainly could have happened at the factory. The more I think about it, for the bolt to properly index with the breech, it seems that the problem would have to be height of

Just another update.... I installed the new G2 FCG, T-6 Buttstock, and a Saw Pistol Grip! Wow, it was fun and a learning experience . I just oredered a Shepherd's Crook from Red Arms and will be ordering the bullet guide kit from Dinzag. She is looking pretty !! The T-6 Buttstock feels really good and I was worried about the eye line up for it but it feels perfect. Probelly from shooting the M4 as my issued rifle. I still need to get a lower retainer for the Foregrip and a new gas tube to fit the upper.

How are you gonna put a PG on it, without putting in the new FCG? Putting a PG on it requires moving the trigger group forward, which you need the new FCG for. I don't think he means that he would continue to use the factory FCG with the PG in place (which wouldn't work). Instead, I think he just means that he would perform the conversion up to the point of putting the new FCG in while waiting for it to arrive. Then when it did arrive, he would install it. You are right....I just wanted to start the conversion which I did. I took it apart two days ago and ordered the G2 single

Just an update...I got a Tapco T-6 OD stock, Saw grip OD, and Tapco Fusion hanguards OD. I just need to get the FCG ( single hook ) and I should be good to go! This may be retarded and impatient but I am thinking about going ahead and put the stock and grip on then add the FCG later. What do you all think?

I thought we were talking about hunting w/ them, semi auto's...... not about if it's illegal to own one. You just can't hunt w/ them.

I am looking for a Gas Tube to fit on w/ a Tapco Fusion handguard and a Lower retainer...... anyone have these items laying around?

I could use some for my 7.62 and will honor the buddy system, it is a good thing hunter121...

It stated, what I read on the site was only a manual operated centerfire rifle can be used. I take that as a lever or bolt action rifle not one that is auto fed.

Yes that is true. I just did some research cause I am getting out of the Army and moving back to PA after 13 yrs. You can look it up on www.pgc.pa. It explains that you can use a centerfire, muzzleloader, bow, and crossbow.
